Cute Rhino Calf is the Latest Addition to the Bronx Zoo

An adorable one-horned rhinoceros calf is the latest addition to the Bronx Zoo.

The little female Indian rhino was born on April 6 and weighs only 120 pounds — she’ll eventually grow to be around 4,000 pounds.

She’s the 13th such rhino to be born at the Bronx Zoo since 1986, and she’s still unnamed. Penny is the proud rhino-mom, and her dad is Sanjay.

The newborn will be featured in the Wild Asia exhibit, and Wildlife Conservation Society officials will limit exhibit hours for the time being.

While the calf’s skin looks like armor plating, it’s more sensitive than it appears, zoo officials said. This is why rhinos of all sizes usually hang around in the mud — it protects their skin from the sun and regulated body temperature.

Rhinos are considered endangered because they are hunted for their horns, which are made from “compressed kerotin fibers, the same substance that makes up hair and fingernails in humans,” zoo officials said.
